Another great build! Like I said before, it has to be fun being inside your head with the wild creations you come up with!

Very nice! Love the engine swap and that paint looks a mile deep!

I just wanted to say that if you have any doubts ordering from this Rookie, you can relax. I placed an order on Saturday morning and about an hour or so ago got a message that my shipment was going out today! Every part of the transaction has been smooth and the communication has been excellent. If the parts are half as good as the shopping experience, I am in for more of whatever Bill dreams up! Keep it up Bill, our hobby needs more vendors like you to help us build stuff not available in a kit. The service level you have started with has been awesome and I hope you can maintain it!

Placed an order yesterday, looking forward to seeing everything in person. Will be building a F-350 , not sure what bed I will have behind it yet.

Only 1?

He likely got caught up in a financial pinch and sold off the new stuff to get out from the debt. When he bought that rotator, I though he said it was a $700,000 + truck, so I can't imagine how expensive the monthly payments had to be. Add in that he mentioned dealing with insurance companies not wanting to pay lead to problems making payroll and truck payments and I can see why he dumped the new rigs.

I did notice on the Tower Hobbies website last night that the re-issued 1976 Chevy 4x4 Step Side pickup is in stock. Haven't seen any of the other online retailers mention it so hopefully it isn't a typo! I ordered one and with my luck it will be part of the re-set at Hobby Lobby and I could have bought it with my 40% off coupon!

That seems like a steal, considering how many windshields you can do and it's shipped from Japan? If I was that deep into my details on models, I would jump on it. Considering I can barely finish a kit, much less worry about the tint shade across the windshield, I am happy to get the bumpers glued on!

You are a stronger man than I Andy! I no longer have a hobby shop nearby and have to rely on Hobby Lobby or the internet.

Check out Scenes Unlimited, I believe Danny has what you are looking for. I have a set and they look good to me.

This is a basic kit but builds up nicely. IIRC it has a nice set of Cragar 5 spokes in it, along with stock wheel covers. The chassis is simple but as has been pointed out, plenty of substitutes to put a detailed one underneath. I'll likely grab one, not because I need it, but because it builds quickly and can be a slumpbuster!

I like it! Great way to build that canopy using the 'Burban roof!

It must be fun living in your head and coming up with these model ideas! LOL! I have always admired your skill and creativity Chuck and you never disappoint! Another winner with this one.

Those kit tires limit you on what wheels can be used if you stick with them. As Landman mentioned, Fireball Modelworks has some nice wheel and tires, as does Danny at Scenes Unlimited. Both offer beautiful products, great prices and fast service.

Thanks, just found a way to spend $75 in a matter of seconds!

Nice work, love seeing different versions of this kit, gives me ideas for mine!

Another Coca Cola kit from AMT/Round2????? Who would have guessed?????

A lot of nice rides there, hard to pick my favorite dozen! Thanks for sharing Tim!

Nice work on the car, love the color choices! There was a Nickey Camaro featured in MuscleCarReview a while back in turquoise, I know the car and the owner, want to build a replica of it someday.

It's the stepside kit that is out, other versions will follow, much like the series of 68-72 Ford pickups did.

For some, it's not how much money they can make as it is the chase- being the one that clears out the aisle of discounted models. Same mentality when Ollie's has kits on clearance and someone has to be the first to get there and scoop up the good deals. I have seen some people take those "deals" and try to double their money at hobby shows.

Some of the kits mentioned in this thread are also listed online in their clearance section. Unfortunately they are only priced at 40% off, not the 75% off the store is selling them for.

I would contact them and see if they would. They might have a body that the back end didn't come out of the mold and could sell you the front half. If you don't ask, you won't know! Mine showed up today but unfortunately I am not home for a few days to see it!

Nice, anxious to see what all you pull together for this- Bed, frame, cabs, Etc!

What, no rust or patina? You okay Chuck? Nice job, love the color and details.
